Renowned Bollywood director Karan Johar isn’t shy when it comes to revealing personal aspects of his life. Lately, he discussed his current relationship status, confessing that he’s currently single. He expressed regret about this situation and admitted that finding trust in relationships can be challenging for him, blaming it on his character. Additionally, Johar talked about his ongoing battle with anxiety and revealed that he continues to require medication to manage it.

During a conversation with Raj Shamani, Karan Johar candidly discussed his desire for a more personal life, acknowledging that he’s currently lacking one. He shared, “I yearn to be in a romantic relationship, but I am not at present. Due to my circumstances, it’s challenging for me to trust readily or feel comfortable… I can’t quite put it into words, but it’s difficult for me. The one aspect of my life that I wish weren’t empty or unfulfilled is the part related to relationships.

KJo candidly discussed his battles with social anxiety, revealing that it has become more pronounced within the last two to three years. He confessed that being in enclosed spaces with no visible escape route amidst a crowd leaves him feeling uncomfortable.

Karan additionally mentioned that while he’s often seen at Bollywood gatherings, he typically only stays for a short while. He explained further that he no longer hosts parties because of his unease with social situations, preferring to limit his interactions.

The movie director also remembered a troubling experience, where he experienced a panic attack at a gathering. He recounted sweating profusely and having shakes that he couldn’t control in his hands and feet. Seeing his state, a thoughtful friend stepped in, gave him water, and suggested he step away before he chose to depart on his own.

In a heartfelt confession, I rushed to seek medical help, suspecting it could be a cardiac arrest. However, the doctor diagnosed me with an anxiety attack instead. KJo continued, “I’ve been consulting my psychologist, started taking medication, and I still do every day. I’m hoping, gradually, I can start reducing it.

As a devoted follower, I too can relate to the profound sense of solitude Karan Johar has described. Even with friends, family, and the tender affection of my own kids nearby, I’ve found myself grappling with feelings of isolation at times. Yet, it’s important to clarify that while I may feel lonely, I am not unhappy. This emotional state is a constant companion in my life.

Johar shared that struggling to articulate deep-seated feelings often leaves him feeling isolated. He finds it challenging to openly reveal his emotions, worrying they may be too much for others to handle.

Karan openly acknowledged that he previously attended therapy sessions, but he’s not attending them anymore. He explained the rationale by sharing that he’s learning to be his own therapist, engaging in internal dialogues to manage his personal battles instead.
